(ROOSEVELT ENDS THIRD TERM TALK PRESIDENT REPEATS HIS ELECTION NIGHT UTTERANCE All Doubt Dispelled as to His Attitude?Bryan Says he is not Gfff Surprised. 1 , . Washington, December 11.?President Roosevelt wiil not be a candidate for a third term. All doubt on jft'i', this point was dispelled today by the authoized statement from the White House-that Mr. Rosevelt still adherd ed to the declaration made three r years ago. In the statement issued tonight President Roosevelt says he lias not changed and shall not change the decision communicated to the public in 1904. It appears that the president has been awaiting the call for the Republican National Convention to1'afford the proper opportunity for making bis position clear and unmistakable, and thus leave the field clear for Fairbanks, Taft, Cannon, Knox, p- Foraker and other declared or receptive candidates for (he Republican nomination. The president's statement' follows: "On the night after the election I made the following announcement: * I am deeply sensible of the honor done me by the American people in thus expressing their confidence in what I have tried to do. 1 appreciate to the full the solemn responsibility this confidence imposes upon me and I shall do all (hat in my power lies not to forfeit it. On the fourth of March next T shall have served three and a half years, and this three and a half years constitute my first term. The wise custom, which limit's the president to two t'erms regards (he substances, and not the form, and under no circumstances will I be a candidate for or accept another nomination. "I have not changed and shall not change the decision thus announced." The German Empress. Boston Transcript.

She is described as tall, fair and comely, and bears herself with a royal presence and demeanor. Moreover, her face is continually wreathed in smiles; she is always tastefully attirr? * ed, on state occasions resplendent' in Ndress, and is a dashing horsewoman, lrftver looking better that when ridintk in her white uniform. Altogether y<ie K-mpcror and the people of Germany are fortunate in a mother of rotyal family who fills the role to such .perfection, accomplished as she is in <\i 11 domestic occupations, and devoted', to her six sons and one daughter. Politics she lets severely alone, but not the social questions, and she is believed to have been hebind the recent searching investigations into conditions of the sweated i workers of Germany. To, be serene and placid without being dull is a most happy combination for her in offset for the 'temperament of her strenuous husband. Such has been the outcome of the love-match the Kaiser made as a very young man with the Princess Augusta of Sclileswig-TTolstein. No, Mr. Roosevelt would not accop( a third term.

Not Reassuring. A farmer, on a frosty autumn af- j ternoon, went out into his turnip iftold and began to gather turnips. The early sun sank in the west, and as the bluish dusk came on the farmer peicieved at the other end of the fi-?ld I wo men, who, laying down a bag, began to dig with frantic haste. The farmer watched the pair in some perplexity. What could they be doing? And lie was just putting his hand to his cheek to shout and ask tlieiu their business when one of them rose up and yelled loudly and ea>suring]y: , "Don't let us disturb yon; we are Itrly prigging a few ourselves."?| Washington Star.

The merchants of Nowberry arc ropared for the heavy Christmas 'ado which is always done in Newcrry during the two weeks precedlg Christmas. Tl is probable that ever before in the history of Newer ry have sneh large stocks of hristmas goods been purchased in nticipntion of the holiday t'radv?. his is but natural, because Newberv has j>rown along material lines, iid the merchants of Newberry have lereased their purchases in propor011 ti) Newberry's rapid growth. The financial stringency of the ast fow months has not played any art in the calculations of NewberV merchants in buying Christmas oods. It is not to be denied that ioney has been scarce, but with it 11 and through it' all I lie fact retains that the south is more proserous than at any time before since le War Between the Stales, and the lorchants knew that with Newberv's growth the Chirstmas trade lis year would be lite biggest in tli'3 istorv of the city. Christmas is the children's fostial, because it was on Christinas lorn that the Babe who was to- be le Savior of I he world lay in Betli-hein's manger. It has eome to be, nd rightly so, that one of (he great bjects of Christmas is to make the hildren happy. Santa Clans comes > them and in the bestowal of presets teaches t'nem the great Christlas iesson, upon the truth of which lie salvation of the whole world deends. At Christmas time the stores lways remind one of "toy land, litle girl and boy land." But for this 'hristmas in Newberry, not only hav> lie toy stores, the children's stores, iid in large stocks for the Christias trade, but the clothing stores nd the hardware stores and the rocery. stores and the drug stores nd ail tlie stores?jiol only those "hieh handle the toys for the ehilren but also those which handle the ecessities of life?have purchased ood.s which should demand tiie attrition of Christmas shoppers. The Herald and News today prints ixteen pages, in which are included lie announcements of the Newberry lercliants to the holiday trade. Their dvertisenients should receive the tt'ention of those trading in Newer ry. Tn a business-like manner liey tell what they have for sale an.l ivite the patronage of those who 'ish to purchase goods. Before the ays of large newspaper circulation was a rule that any one wishing to urehase goods must go to the stores nd look in each to see which handed the goods the purchaser wanted I the price the purchaser desired to ay. That time has passed. It is a ife rule that when a merchant has argains to offer to the public iii is oing to let the public know of lem, and the merchant knows that i?? best medium is the newspaper, t is the logical conclusion that if lie wishes to purchase Christmas nods this year the safest way to take a choice is to read the adversenients of the merchants in the ewspapers, an I to go to those merIiiints who lia-ve advertised tli'ir ares. In this issue of The Herald and! ews many of the merchants of j ewberrv have offered bargains. ; The Mower Company. j, One of liii' principal lines to I liich the .Mower Company desires' > call the attention of Christmas, inppers is millinery, which is now eing offered at cos I prices. When ic Mower Company advertises cost, i.iea:is cost, and when they say ey an; going to close out their miluerv at cost, it means that their utrons are going to get hats at cost, liss I?iirk is now serving her second ason with the Mower Company, and lat she has ability and taste in the J millinery line is known by tho ladies >f Newberry ami the whole county. In addition to millinery and in adiliiion to their regular line of dry uoods ami shoes, the Mower (Company are calling special attention to I'nrs, fancy collars in separate Christmas boxes, umbrellas and handkerchiefs. T!iis is one of the oldest and most reliable firms in Newberry. The Ewart-Porry Company. On August 1 of this year tho ICwart-Perry Company was formed i:i Newberry. Mr. W. F. Ewart and Mr. R. C. Perry, and Mr. Richard Swittenberg, who compose the firm, have been in the clothing and furnishing business for many years, and it is probable that there are lew families in Newberry county who have '.lot purchased goods from one or the other of these gentlemen. They have a modern and up-to-date clothing and furnishing store, such as wouid be expected from their combined experience yi their line of business. I :i addition to their largo slock of clothing, -shoes and hats, they call attention to their Christmas stock of bath robes, smoking jackets, silk mufflers, neck-wear, hosiery and suspenders. They have a large line of tan shoes for ladies and gentlemen. One of I heir best makes of shoes is I lie Blucher, which is standard. With the great demand in Newberry during the past several months for tan shoes, it should be to the. interest of Christinas shoppers lo inspect the big slock of the K wartPerry Company. Summer Brothers. Among the largest firms in the state is that of Summer Brothers. They have three distinct stores in Newberry in which Ihev handle clothing and dry goods, furnishings, groceries, and hardware, and in addition to these three stores they have a warehouse in which is stored one ol the prettiest line of buggies and wagons ever brought to Newberry. It would be a hard matter to call special attention to any particular line in their grocery and hardware stores. In the clr.lhing store lire attention of the holiday trade is invited to a large line ol' tan shoes, for which .there* has been a great demand in Newberry. Th'jy have Queen Quality shoes for Indies in every conceivable shape, style and color and shade of color, and a big line of shoes for men with the same variety. They have ties ranging in price from tweni v-five cents lo $1.25 and silk mufllers which would make beautiful Christmas presents. Da.uiels and Williamson. Daniels & Williamson have one of the prettiest jeweiry stores in filestate, and it is said by those who appreciate a pretty jewelry store that, for the size of t'he city, it will compare favorably with any store of its kind in the south. Their main line, of course, is watches, jewelry and silver ware. nE the jewelry line they have five hundred kinds of rings, and in addition to their diamond rings and plain gold rings and every other kind of rings, they are calling special attention to their line of peari rings, which range in prieo 1 roin $10 to $H"). Lockets and chains they have, of course, and they are never out of date. Diamond brooches range in price from $lf) to $200, and solid gold brooches from one dollar up. Watch lobs, both gold filled and solid gold, range in price IVom one dollar to $2.). Cull' buttons, hat pins, comb, brush and mirror sets. and manicure sets are suitable for Christmas presents, and their line of tlor:inui's sterling silver, and triple plated silver, guaranteed for twenty-five years, is the most complete ever brought to Newberry. Their litre of knives, forks, spoons, etc., is also complete. One who appreciates jewelry would be well repaid by looking over tlie stock whether lie desires to jnirchase or not. Fellers & Morgan. Some three months ago Mr. Rufus (r. I'diers* and Mr. J. R, Morgan formed a partnership under the firm name ol Kellers & Morgan, and since, its formation tho firm has been successful. They carry a large line of shoes, hats and furnishing goods, ineluding Hoyden's shoes for men, K. P. Heed's shoes for women, the Nu
